Looks like Robby the Robot from one of my favourite Sci-Fi movies The Forbidden Planet. Robby had hands and legs/feet while the M3/B9 from Lost in Space had claws and track in long shots...hey what can I say I'm a geek.

The weird thing is The Forbidden Planet was on TV just yesterday . . . Coincidence?! Probably, yeah, but still weird. The only thing weirder than that is watching Leslie Nielsen play a serious character.

The actual Robby the Robot prop from the movie is a hugely detailed thing - the build cost was allegedly $125,000 which was a LOT in 1955/56 when the movie was made. The Lost in Space robot was designed by the same bloke - Robert Kinoshita, although others were involved in the design of Robby. (thanks wikipedia)

My model borrows the look in a much more simplified way... just add an an egg!

In any case, I've renamed the model to... Eggby... don't know if I'm happy about that yet :/ What do others think?

The main reason for the rename was to avoid any confusion with the, well, the actual Eggbot product that makers use to decorate eggs and suchlike. There was always the potential for litigation too naming-wise, perhaps I'm getting ahead of myself!

You must be older than me I grew up with lost in space. I've "seen" Robby but wasn't familiar with him until Pawn Stars and American Pickers talked about him while buying versions of him.

51 this year I remember I was about 10 or 11 sneaking downstairs in the wee small hours to watch it. Back in the days before VCR's were in every house. My Dad caught me with about 5 minutes to go and said I might as well see the end then...GET BACK TO BED!!
